Wicked Business by Evanne Lorraine

From the first glance, Desiree is drawn to Eduardo. The man is the stuff of dreams--rich, powerful, and smoldering with sexuality. His dedication to the foundation’s mission, his fierce protection of his family, and even his wicked connection to the underworld only adds the cache of impossibility to his potent charms. Watching him is her job and a private thrill. But, she’s much too sensible to act on her crush, risking her job, to say nothing of her heart. Then, he reaches out to her. The invitation is impossible to resist and everything changes.

Eduardo has many secrets, and some aren’t his own, but he’s sworn to keep them. Since Desiree works for the enemy, indulging his passion with her is recklessly insane. However, it’s even more impossible to leave her alone. As the attraction between them burns hotter, something more than simple desire glows to life. Caught between the love of a lifetime and promises he must honor, he can never have anything with her--except for a few stolen moments.

Agent Desiree Joy has finally landed a field assignment. Even though it may just be watching a suspect, at least it is in the field -- and what a suspect Eduardo is. He is pleasing to the eye, that is for sure. And, more, Desiree is not so sure about his guilt. She must decide if she will follow her instincts about Eduardo or blindly follow her superior.

This story drew me in from the very beginning. I enjoyed the bond that developed between Eduardo and Desiree. The two are a great match. Eduardo is a strong man with a good conscience who will fight for those he loves. Desiree is a smart woman who follows her heart. As the two deal with their own feelings for each other they must also deal with the agency Desiree works for and their investigation of Eduardo. The story flows nicely between the investigation and the relationship. I loved reading about the strong feelings that they feel for each other and watching them show it when they must fight for their lives.

This author brings the characters' world to life. This story was well written and fast paced. I enjoyed the relationship that was introduced and would love to read more about Desiree and Eduardo. If you enjoy strong characters and ones that follow their hearts, you should definitely check this story out. I know that I will be on the look out for more stories from this author.

RATING EXPLANATION:

1 Star -- At this time, we at Whipped Cream do not post these reviews. If the book was boring, badly edited, poorly written, had little or no plot, stilted dialogue, and/or unsympathetic characters, we will decline the review.

2 Stars -- Not wonderful, but tolerable. There may be some minor editing glitches but not enough to stop you reading. Not a wall-banger, but nothing you'd re-read. This is a book you would borrow from the library - not buy- and never check out again.

3 Stars -- Good. Mostly enjoyable. You made it through and didn't consider it a waste of time or money. The story was strong enough or the conflict tight enough, so even when the book faltered, it was able to draw you back in and keep you. There's a chance you'll recommend it to a friend, but it wouldn't go on your keeper shelf.

4 Stars-- Very Good. You're glad you were the one who got to review this book. You would probably buy it and would definitely recommend it to your friends. You liked the characters and the plot. The writing style was good and the editing clean.

5 Stars -- Great! You would definitely buy this book. You would definitely recommend it to your friends. You really loved the characters and the plot and would consider looking for this authors back list or making her an autobuy. The writing and editing were superb.

WC Best Book - For a book or story that is truly exceptional. You think about it when you're not reading it. You wonder what happens to the characters when you finish. You would absolutely buy everything else this author had to offer. The highest praise - and reserved for only a few.
